Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and utilizes
food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended into the
early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents that were essential for
human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents. Near the end of this era,
research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified
by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods.
The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called "the vitamin period. "
Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described. As vitamins became recognized as
essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for

Trang 1 – Mã đề 331


which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy. At that point in time,
medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic
sciences. Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of deficiency symptoms. Herein lay the beginning
of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless claims
were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them.
In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin therapy began to fall into disrepute.
Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became less popular. It was just a decade before
this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing

physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a variety of
health-related conditions. Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated. As is known
in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis conditions than when
applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that lead to chronic health problems.

A. The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study
B. The effects of vitamins on the human body
C. Nutritional practices of the nineteenth century

in the history of nutrition?
A. Effective techniques of weight loss were determined.
B. Vitamins were synthesized from foods.
C. Certain foods were found to be harmful to good health.
D. Protein was recognized as an essential component of diet.

A. realistic
B. attractive
C. correct
D. necessary
Question 14: It can be inferred from the passage that medical schools began to teach concepts of nutrition in order to
A. encourage medical doctors to apply concepts of nutrition in the treatment of disease
B. convince medical doctors to participate in research studies on nutrition
C. convince doctors to conduct experimental vitamin therapies on their patients
D. support the creation of artificial vitamins

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as important to me as emotions
are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately related?

Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your emotions, and is something
that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The color that you choose to wear either refects your current
state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you need.

Trang 2 – Mã đề 331


The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you. Of course they also
affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are the one saturated with the color all day ! I even choose
items around me based on their color. In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I need for
the day. So you can consciously use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel
better.
Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are meant to move
and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in motion. Also, flowing energy is
